Setting OVF Properties When Deploying to vSphere or vCloud Director

OVF descriptors can contain configuration properties for the deployed OVF package. You can set only one property at a time, but you can have multiple instances of the option per command. The property option has the following syntax:

--prop:<option>=<value>

This example sets two properties: the administrator’s email address and the number of concurrent sessions.

> ovftool --prop:[email protected] --prop:concurrentSessions=200 package.ovf vi://localhost/?dns=fast-esx=host1.example.com
